This IS the Scottish flag:   Ow! Stop! Ow! I'm only joking! Ow! Ow! Jesus! Put that down! Ow! Ow! Ow! In all seriousness, it's tempting (I'm about half Scottish too) but might want to limit it to the countries on our passports. If we start covering ethnicities our smilies page will be a mile long and we'll have about 200 flags up, including some from other planets that can't even be seen by human eyes... |

No, wait a minute. We actually have members from Scotland now, and unlike some of our more shiftless Commonwealth-type friends, we certainly can't expect them to put up with a Union Jack.  So herrrre's yer coulers, laddie  along with one for our rockin' Filipina friend  and a Chinese flag that's the same size as all of ours.  Nolefan: Maroc ou France? Or both? |

We also need an Australian one. I'm not putting a kiwi icon on my posts.

Thanks for the Hoganland flag, Raoul. That's about as good as it gets at the moment. Although why we should get worked up about a flag that is 3/4 Hoganlander and 1/4 foreign is, and probably always will be, a complete mystery to me.

>including some from other planets that can't even be seen by human eyes... Speaking of which, I've been meaning to talk to you about the Tau Ceti IV flag.  "When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere." - Robert A. Heinlein

- Cheers for that, Big Yin! I am not as nationalistic as some of my countrymen, but it's always nice to be recognised. By the way, it is my understanding that 'Scottish' or 'Scots' should be used to refer to us as people, but 'Scotch' is for the national drink. *edit* I see we have a new memeber with the rather more patriotic user-name of 'Haggis' - is that what brought all this on? Anyway... Slange Var!

I'd been thinking about it for awhile, but Haggis joining did finally make me decide to post it.
Haggis, the breakfast of champions.

Uh, Ok... You're not working now, are you? What I really want is the Screwball flag from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, but I haven't found it as an animated GIF file yet...  |

If someone could do it, that would make a great flag for the forum, I reckon.

Alright, how about the Eureka Stockade flag? Hogans without british ties view this a bit like the South of USAnia view the Confederate Flag.
Sort of good for students to hang up over their beds.

Eureka Stockade - sure
Confederate Battle Flag (Stars and Bars) - please don't!!! If for some insane reason you want a Confederate flag, look up the real national flags of the Confederacy. The battle flag has been co-opted by psycho racist rednecks who can literally only see the world in terms of black and white. They claim it's for some sort of pride in their southern heritage, but I haven't met one yet would could describe any Confederate flag except the battle flag (which, coincidentally, ended up flying over quite a few state capitols in the 1950's and 60's, not to express any sort of proud heritage, but to protest school integration).
I had ancestors fighting on both sides of that insanity (sometimes even in the same battle), and have mixed feelings claiming to be descended from General Samuel E. Johnston (the LEAST competent general of the Confederacy).

Well, students hanging psycho stuff on the wall over their beds is pretty right. I would have hung a Nazi flag - back to front - just so I could explain it.
One of my collateral precursors (not direct ancestor) was Airmarshal Hugh Dowding of battle of britain and dam busters fame... Pretty cool, actually. One person with my surname is mentioned in the domesday book as a Saxon sort of petty noble troublemaker to the Normans, so little has changed. Yeah, my family name is that old.
Heh.
